Liverpool ended a run of four consecutive league defeats with a 2-0 away victory at Bramall Lane.
Tactically, they made a few changes, but their performance was mostly in step with recent matches.
Setting up in their native 4-3-3, with the unchanged front three supported by a midfield three of Jones, Wijnaldum and Thiago. In defence...
There was much to admire about Liverpool's 2-0 victory over Sheffield United, as the Reds made a welcome return to winning ways.
Adrian, Nat Phillips and Ozan Kabak largely did well against a physical Blades attack, while Trent Alexander-Arnold looked somewhere close to his best again.
Gini Wijnaldum and Thiago purred in midfield, the front-three looked...
To put it bluntly, Liverpool dominated Sheffield United. In previous games against the Blades, it’s been a struggle and the Reds have needed to dig deep to eke out wins. This game wasn’t like that, though. It finished 2-0 but it could’ve easily have been 5-0. In fact, it probably should’ve been.Â
Jurgen Klopp, to...
It's fair to say Naby Keita hasn't set the world alight at Liverpool.
Few players have joined with greater expectations on their shoulders than the Guinean when he arrived at Anfield in 2018, following a superb spell at RB Leipzig.
The fact that Liverpool fans had to wait a whole year to see Keita in the...
Carlo Ancelotti's Everton piled on more Merseyside misery for Liverpool, as they won by two goals at Anfield, their first away derby victory this century. The result displayed some of the impressive work Carlo Ancelotti has done with Everton, and drew upon aspects of the 0-0 draw following the restart, last season.

Liverpool utilised their...
To say Liverpool are in a rut would be an understatement. The Reds are in unchartered territory under Jurgen Klopp having lost four consecutive home games. They’re without a Premier League win in February and they’re five points off the top four with just 13 matches remaining. If Everton and Aston Villa win their...
Just when you thought you'd pretty much seen it all this season, the unthinkable happens.
Everton's first win at Anfield since 1999, combined with a hammer blow of an injury to Jordan Henderson and what was, at best, an abject performance saw Liverpool's season plummet to a new low.
This was a fourth straight defeat at...
Nothing lasts forever. It had been 22 years since Everton had won at Anfield. I was less than a month old. And of course it was going to be this season, this god-forsaken, gut-punch season, that the Blues' drought came to an end.
Liverpool fans were united in their incandescence when a quite unfathomable penalty...
So apparently football really does determine your mood.
After an awful run of results for Liverpool, they roared back on Tuesday night, making a formidable RB Leipzig side look as average as a mid-table Premier League side.
That weight was instantly lifted, whether it be for Jurgen Klopp, his players or the supporters, as the Reds...
Liverpool won 2-0 in their round of 16 away tie against RB Leipzig to make them favourites to progress to the quarter-finals.
In some ways, Julian Nagelsmann's side was a welcome opponent, with their expansive, aggressive and calculated-risk based play. Leipzig offered a very different tactical proposition to the majority of Liverpool's recent opponents, with...
